"Enjoyable, great breakfast, nice views."

9.0

Good location to wander the town and visit the local pub, cafes. Excellent breakfast! Room size good, could sit on front balcony and look over the town.

Minor, but the climb to the cabin (steep steps, maybe 20) is a little steep. Fine if you’re fit, but not good if your mobility is limited.

We knew there were stairs, don't be fooled, it's a climb, not just stairs. To avoid them you can go on a dirt road with the car, but it's not easy, and you still need to do the climb to get to the restaurant.

"Great location, view, welcoming staff and tasty in-house restaurant makes this place a winner!"

9.0

The location of Moni Mahalika is in the center of Moni, convenient to many restaurants, but one should try the in-house Moon Cafe, where we ate breakfast as well as several meals. Owner Cipriano and his wife Yuni are a welcoming couple and Yuni prepares great food. We found the Balado Aubergine, the corn fried, the soto ayam and the fried chicken to all be excellent. The two rooms are perched on the hillside behind the restaurant and offer great views of the valley below. Our room was clean, including a single and a queen size beds, fan, hot shower. There are some steps to climb to get from the restaurant below, but the view is worth it as is the quiet. We later arranged for Cipriano's brother Johan to drive us from Moni to Riung, which went very smoothly. Johan is a very careful driver and offered to stop at several locations along the way for photos. Nothing but accolades for this place. Recommended for those who visit Moni.

As mentioned, there are stairs to climb to reach the rooms, but we found this only to be a minor inconvenience.

"Comfortable stay, but missing promised amenities"

8.0

Comfortable and large room, fan is very nice to circulate air at night, good mosquito net, good location, good breakfast (bad coffee though), helpful information about Kelimutu. The amenities listed with the room are misleading and false advertising. There is no sauna, or fireplace, and there is no shampoo, among most of the other things listed. The WiFi only works in the dining area — if it works at all. Best to update this listing and remove WiFi (along with the other amenities not provided) if it is not going to work all the time. (It was out at breakfast.) Google Maps takes you down a bad road to the back of the property. Stay on the main road and park in the front unless you are comfortable driving on the road.

"Very steep hill to room."

7.0

Comfortable room. Large verandah. Poor breakfast. Only star fruit offered and unpleasant omelette. Then, dinner I had was inedible. I ate elsewhere after that. Very steep climb to the room. First steps then and at the time a boggy field then more steep steps. Not ideal.

We had a great stay. We came here to see Kelimutu lakes and made a bet with this accommodation considering that there are quite many offers around. We stayed two nights trying to find a good interval to see the lakes(it was the rainy seasons and obviously rainy and very cloudy). The room(actually a bungalow), is big, offering all the comfort needed. The bed also very comfortable and the view is the best in the village. Honestly it's hard to find a better one. We also liked the breakfast fruits, but we would have exchanged the pancakes with eggs if possible.

This is not the location problem, but the entire village. Electricity comes and goes, and with it also the phone signal and hot water.. Usually more chaotic during the day but constant at night time, but in a way was nice to be off the grid for a couple of days :).
